Implications of each for JetBlue’s practices:
Due to the low fares and excellent service, JetBlue has an unusually high ratio of loyal
customers. Loyal customers who spread positive word-of-mouth are known as true friends,
angels, apostles, evangelists. and they keep in touch with the JetBlue when they are not flying
More broadly, by the metric of social currency (a fancy term for networks of customers
spreading by word of mouth), JetBlue is the strongest U.S. brand, outperforming even Apple.
JetBlue’s strong word of mouth has been fueled by the company’s ability to delight
customers.
2. Describe in detail all the facets of JetBlue’s. What is being exchanged in

a JetBlue transaction?
Products:
1. JetBlue has shaped its seats with three more inches of legroom than the average
airline seat. If that’s not enough, for as little as $10 per flight, travelers can reserve
one of JetBlue’s “Even More Legroom” seats, which offer even more space and a
flatter recline position.
2. Seat is well padded and covered in leather
3. Food and beverage are another perquisite that JetBlue customers enjoy. The airline
doesn’t serve meals, but it offers the best selection of free beverages and snacks. In
addition to the standard soft drinks, juices, and salty snacks, JetBlue flyers enjoy
Terra Blues chips, Immaculate Baking’s Chocobillys cookies, and Dunkin’ Donuts
coffee.
4. JetBlue wants to be sure that customers will be entertained even in the event of a
delay. That’s why every seat has its own LCD entertainment system. Customers can
watch any of 36 channels on DirectTV or listen to 100 channels on Sirius XM Radio,
free of charge. If that isn’t enough, six bucks will buy a movie or favorite television
show. JetBlue rounds out the amenities with free Wi-Fi in terminals and free sending
and receiving of e-mails and instant messages in the air.
5. With more security lanes than any terminal in the country, travelers scurry right
through. High end dining (tapas, lobster tempura, and Kobe sliders, just to name a few
options) can be found among the terminal’s 22 restaurants. And its 25 retail stores are
characteristic of the latest mall offerings. A children’s play zone, comfortable lounge
areas, work spaces, and piped in music from Sirius XM Radio make travelers hesitant
to leave.
Return:
$39 tickets are exchanged for all these products and services.
3. Which of the five marketing management concepts best applies to

JetBlue?
Product Concept:
The product concept holds that consumers will favor products that offer the most in quality,
performance, and innovative features. Under this concept, marketing strategy focuses on
making continuous product improvements. JetBlue is a thriving young airline with a strong
reputation for outstanding service. Due to the improvements, Not only did JetBlue recover
quickly from the Valentine’s Day hiccup, it’s now stronger than ever.
Marketing Concept:
The achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target
markets and delivering the desired satisfactions better than competitors do. The marketing
concept is a customer-centered “sense and respond” philosophy.
JetBlue’s onboard crews even greet customers onboard with jokes, songs, and humorous
versions of the safety routine. JetBlue’s younger workforce and newer, more fuel-efficient
planes, its cost per available seat mile is reduced. That has allowed JetBlue to undercut it on
price with $39 tickets that are $20 cheaper than its competitors lowest fare.
4. What value does JetBlue create for its customers?
Jet-Blue is providing more spaced Leather seats, travelers own entertainment system with
dozens of channels, and at least some choice of food. People are wondering after seeing such
amazing services, specifically at a given “value” price and they are talking about their
experience. People are so used to airline travel being poor, late, or uncomfortable these days
that cases where a company like a JetBlue seems to care and provide good service looks
noteworthy. JetBlue keeps the connection with their customers in the airport, on the planes,
on the phones, or online for the growth of the business. JetBlue takes care of their customers
and makes them happy that’s why they have loyal customers.
5. Is JetBlue likely to continue being successful in building customer

relationships? Why or why not?
Yes, because JetBlue has demonstrated that it is committed for maintaining high levels of
customer satisfaction and after Valentine's Day nightmare, JetBlue treated their customer in
such a manner that they are still loyal and you can this in the expansion of the routes and their
profits.A recent North American Airline Satisfaction Study conducted by J.D. Power and
Associates again ranked JetBlue, as enjoying the highest levels of customer satisfaction
throughout the commercial airline industry. Jet Blue is a company that seems likely to
continuous being successful, because they have put all efforts on customer satisfaction, but
also in their employee’s behavior, they offer part time jobs and customer could work at home.
I really believe that when the employee is happy with the job the customer will receive an
respectable treatment and the customer satisfaction leads to customer retention and a good
word of mouth I consider that if Jet blue continuous doing their job in the way they are doing
it and get in touch with their customer and respond them, they will stay in the market for a
long time.
